Eastern Iowa
The conventional wisdom seems to point toward orienting naturally ventilated barns E-W to make the most of more prevalent breezes and to keep some of the sun out of the length of the west side of the barn in the heat of the summer. We oriented a finisher N-S 18 years ago and can tell you there is no impact on performance whatsoever, that we have seen.
